His Fatherhood

Getting to know our Heavenly Father is the way to become a good parent. Praying to know the intimate love of our Father really is an ongoing prayer. Understanding God's grace and His correction certainly helps in decisions we make with our children. It's interesting to me the importance to God of honoring our parents, so it will go well with us all the days of our lives (Eph. 6:1-3) or by cursing your father and mother, your lamp will be put in deep darkness (Prov. 20:20). Unforgiveness opens so many doors. I've noticed that over and over in my life when I forgive, healing comes in, physically and emotionally. When we operate in forgiveness we open the door to light in every area of our lives. Maybe that's why it says, the spirit of a man is the candle of the Lord searching all the inward parts of the belly (Prov. 20:27).
